Our mother has gone to that beautiful home,
From sorrow and pain sheis free;
On the banks Of the river Of life she may roam,
with her loved ones how happy she'll be;
Let our hearts be renewed; our souls be aire,
With heavenly grace from above,
That the Saviour may say, "welI done, come up
higher"
And greet that dear mother you love.
